Talk about a generous gesture! Roberto Donadoni isn't just one of Italy's most appreciated players of the last 30 years, he's also a cracking fellow, if this report is anything to go by.

The Bologna manager recently dipped into his own pocket to help out the family of Mario Angelo Anquilletti, a former AC Milan mainstay who made 418 appearances for the Rossoneri, and won the European Cup with Nereo Rocco's men in 1969.

As reported by the Bergamopost.it, Anquilletti's family was hit by a double dose of bad news last year: not only did Anquilletti succumb to a long illness aged 71, he also lumbered the family with considerable debts, which he'd never told anyone about, not even his family. 
"The funeral was paid for by a local solidarity group, friends," son William told the Bergamo paper. "We've been destitute for a while, but we knew little of Dad's debts, he kept it all to himself. We only found out two days after his funeral that the house had been re-mortgaged". 

"We tried everything, we even wrote to Berlusconi, but we heard nothing back. Then, thank God, Roberto decided to take matters into his own hands".
